Notes on Battery Usage

When you use the battery, carefully read and strictly observe the Safety Instructions

and the notes described below:

 Use only the specified battery.

 Avoid using the battery in extremely cold environments as low temperatures can shorten

the battery life and reduce camera performance.

This low temperature will also

influence Alkaline battery performance, therefore Ni-MH rechargeable battery is

highly recommended.

 When you are using the new rechargeable battery or rechargeable battery that has not

been used for an extended period of time (the battery that passed the expiry date is an

exception) might affect the number of images that can be captured. Therefore, to

maximize its performance and lifetime, we recommend that you fully charge the battery

and discharge it for at least one complete cycle before use.

 The battery may feel warm after a long period of continuous use of the camera or the

flash. This is normal and not a malfunction.

a malfunction.

 If the battery is not to be used for a long period of time, remove it from the camera to

prevent leakage or corrosion.

 If the battery is not to be used for a long period of time, store it after no battery power is

left. If the battery is stored for a long time in a fully charged state, its performance may be

impaired.

 Always keep the battery terminals clean.

 There is a risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

 Dispose of used batteries according to the recycle instructions.

 Never use batteries of different types (together) or mix old and new batteries.

phenomenon can be reduced by asking the subject (person) to

look at the digital camera or get as close to the digital camera as

possible.

Flash on The flash will always fire regardless of the surrounding brightness.

Flash off The flash will not discharge, regardless of the brightness. Use this

mode when taking pictures using indoor lighting, for stages and
